queendee: just did it.
chelseamorning: u2? how’d it go?
queendee: AWKward.
queendee: like, crazy weird. no yelling, no angry questions. just, like, “o. ok.”
queendee: I don’t think they had any idea how to handle it.
chelseamorning: o. well, my mom knew how to handle it. u’d think i had told her i had cancer or something. she started tearing up & she hugged me close and said we were gonna make it thru this. & she was all worried that i was gonna hate myself.
chelseamorning: she was 1/2way to calling a therapist to set me up an appointment b4 i stopped her.
queendee: lol, so maybe my parents weren’t so bad.
chelseamorning: she was really worried about how brook would react. thought maybe it was better if i didn’t tell her right away.
queendee: *snort*
chelseamorning: tell me about it. i think b was listening at the door. i heard like a coughing noise not 2 far away just then, probably laughing.
queendee: ur family might even be weirder than mine.
chelseamorning: wtf are you talking about? ur family’s totes normal. u have 2 parents who actually live w/ u (i have 0.5) & brothers who are into normal boy stuff (instead of never sleeping & always needing everything 100% perfect like my sister)
queendee: lonely, having that big fancy house all to urself?
chelseamorning: shut it, deena.
queendee: lol. did you mention the nsc?
chelseamorning: yeah. she was all, of course we’ll set u up. i’ll call my exec asst to draw up the paperwork. (i had to stop her from calling her sec & being like, hi, my daughter has secret superpowers now…) :-O
queendee: thats pretty funny.
chelseamorning: i told her some of what we’d researched. she really liked the idea of how midyear discoveries of powers mean a mandatory “accelerated program.” i think it sounded like a college prep thing to her.
queendee: rotflmao
chelseamorning: but i think it went ok. we’re gonna call my dad tomorrow to tell him. email seems like a really bad idea, but he’s not in the country right now so face-2-face can’t really happen.
queendee: skype?
chelseamorning: we usually use the videoconferencing stuff. about the same.
queendee: of course u do.
chelseamorning: meaning?
queendee: nothing. sounds like a good way to keep in touch. where is he right now?
chelseamorning: Amazon. shooting for a story on deforestation & organic farms for Ntn’l Geog.
queendee: ask him to bring you back a piranha.
chelseamorning: he would. probably smuggle it back in a camera bag or something.
chelseamorning: remember, he started part of the mess when he thought brook would like a nice glowstone necklace for her bday.
queendee: right.
queendee: I take it back from b4. my fam’s 110% normal. yours is crazy.
chelseamorning: grumble
queendee: but it sounds like we both survived.
chelseamorning: & now it’s time to register.
